One More Virago Giveaway: Invitation to the Waltz by Rosamond Lehmann. A good book, beloved by Virago fans. I wrote here in 2015, “Rosamond Lehmann’s brilliant novel, Invitation to the Waltz (1932), is reminiscent of Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway. Both Lehmann and Woolf use stream-of-consciousness, write exquisitely, and master the compression of time. And both novels center on preparations for a party.”
This is a Virago hardcover edition.

This is a case of, as they say: EVERYTHING MUST GO.
I would love to win this. I wrote an essay last year on the significance of parties in modernist literature, it was fascinating to research and this book sounds like it would be perfect further reading.

I hadn’t seen this one before although I do like Lehman. If someone else wants it, I’ll let it go. Too many books. But I think I’d go broke mailing them out.
